How do I add Read More on my homepage
-
On my home page, instead of showing my whole post one after the other, I want to add a ‘read more’ link. Adding it after showing an extract of the post of every post on my home page. I don’t know how to do this on my iPhone it iPad.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can set your RSS Feed to summary. The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.
Also note what follows please. If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the ext does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

P.S. There is no universal more tag setting. You have to insert the more tag into each post unless you use one of these themes https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
